I've got Reason, I've got rhythm

I had a chance to fiddle with Reason again the other night. I was trying to get a particular drum sound that I want to use in the intro of my song, Painted Smiles. In the end, I didn't end up with the sound I wanted - the one I hear inside my head.

I want to make a version of Painted Smiles using Reason. Doing so will give me an opportunity to get more experience with this product.

My next step is to learn how to record automation. Knowing how to do this means that when I want to change a song parameter, such as a note or volume or temp, I can record the parameter changes and the software will automatically apply the changes during playback.

Once I know how to do that, I can combine the three different note sequences that make up the intro to Painted Smiles.
